The Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced Decommissioning Science (CLADS), Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), had been conducting the Nuclear Energy Science & Technology and Human Resource Development Project (hereafter referred to "the Project") in FY2020. The Project aims to contribute to solving problems in the nuclear energy field represented by the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO). For this purpose, intelligence was collected from all over the world, and basic research and human resource development were promoted by closely integrating/collaborating knowledge and experiences in various fields beyond the barrier of conventional organizations and research fields. The sponsor of the Project was moved from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to JAEA since the newly adopted proposals in FY2018. On this occasion, JAEA constructed a new research system where JAEA-academia collaboration is reinforced and medium-to-long term research/development and human resource development contributing to the decommissioning are stably and consecutively implemented. Among the adopted proposals in FY2018, this report summarizes the research results of the "Development of technology for rapid analysis of strontium-90 with low isotopic abundance using laser resonance ionization" conducted from FY2018 to FY2021 (this contract was extended to FY2021). Since the final year of this proposal was FY2021, the results for four fiscal years were summarized. The present study aims to develop a rapid analysis technique for strontium-90 using diode laser-based resonance ionization with elemental and isotopic selectivity. Strontium-90 is one of the major difficult-to-measure nuclides released into the environment due to the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.

The Collaborative Laboratories for Advanced Decommissioning Science (CLADS), Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), had been conducting the Nuclear Energy Science & Technology and Human Resource Development Project (hereafter referred to "the Project") in FY2019. The Project aims to contribute to solving problems in the nuclear energy field represented by the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc. (TEPCO). For this purpose, intelligence was collected from all over the world, and basic research and human resource development were promoted by closely integrating/collaborating knowledge and experiences in various fields beyond the barrier of conventional organizations and research fields.

Strontium-90 is one of the major difficult-to-measure nuclides released into the environment due to the accident at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. Our method is particularly intended for real samples which contain high concentrations of strontium stable isotopes such as marine samples.

Multi-step resonance ionization spectrometry for long-lived nuclei in nuclear waste materials requires laser sources having high frequency stability and tunability. In this study we have developed a novel frequency control system consisting of digital circuitry and computer to improve the frequency tunability of the developed laser stabilization system using dichroic atomic vapor laser lock (DAVLL) and fringe offset lock (FOL) techniques. Based on the heterodyne experiment and multi-step laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy of atomic Ca, the frequency stability and tunability of the developed system were evaluated.

In nuclear waste materials there are various radionuclides to which standard analytical techniques are difficult to be applied. We are developing an analytical technique where such nuclides are ionized and mass-analyzed using diode laser based multi-step RIMS technique. The diode laser, however, has one drawback, i.e. its oscillation wavelength is readily drifted by acoustic, electric and optical noise, and thus the laser without frequency stabilization is not suitable for the analysis. In this study, we have developed (1) the diode laser whose frequency is stabilized to an intense absorption line of Rb by Zeeman effect and (2) the stabilization system where diode lasers for 3-step ionization of Ca are locked to the Rb-stabilized laser using a Fabry-perot interferometer. Additionally, to evaluate overall frequency stability of the stabilization system, fluctuations in the photoion and fluorescence signals arising from 3-step RIMS of Ca were simultaneously observed.

In nuclear waste materials there are various radionuclides to which standard analytical techniques are difficult to be applied. We are developing an analytical technique where such nuclides are analyzed using multi-step resonance ionization mass spectrometry. In this study, we have developed an external cavity diode laser applicable to the analysis. The wavelength and output power dependence on injection current and temperature were investigated for various types of laser diodes. Based on the data, we have obtained a suitable condition to operate the ECDL in stable single-mode oscillation, so that a continuous scanning range of about 100 GHz was realized. Additionaly, to evaluate the bandwidth of the developed ECDL, we have performed Doppler-free spectroscopy. The reasonable agreement of the measured isotope shift and HFS splitting with the reported values demonstrated that the developed ECDL is applicable to a precise laser spectroscopy as well as a laser trace analysis.

Low-temperature absorption and fluorescence spectra of the Yb3+ ions were measured in phosphate glass with compositions of (60-65)PO-(4-8)BO-(5-10)AlO-(10-15)KO-(5-10)BaO-(0-2)LaO-(0-2)NbO-(4-87)YbO in mol-%. Temperature dependence of lifetime from F upper level of YB was investigated with a cryostat. The glass laser performance pumped by 940 nm laser diode was measured at different temperature range. At 8 K, glass laser oscillation had a slope efficiency of 4% and a maximum power of 2 mW at the peak laser wavelength of 1001 nm.
